Guest Reviews
- Amit (9/5): - Très bien situé pour aller prendre le ferry en direction de l’Inde (à 20 minutes en taxi). Zone résidentielle calme, à 20 minutes en taxi du centre-ville de Jaffna. On n’entend pas la route et les klaxons des bus (en tout cas quand on met la climatisation — qui fonctionne mais met un peu de temps à refroidir la chambre, qui est grande). Les lits sont confortables. L’hôte est accueillant. C’est propre. Le rapport qualité-prix pourrait être meilleur, c’est un peu cher pour le Sri Lanka. Peu d’options aux alentours pour manger le soir.
- Nadja (10/5): Sehr angenehme Unterkunft mit Top Gastgeber - Der Gastgeber dieser Unterkunft ist sehr herzlich, gibt wertvolle Tipps und hilft einem. Die Zimmer sind sauber und die Unterkunft liegt in der Nähe von Teeplantagen. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und sie gehen auf einzelne Wünsche ein.
- William (9/5): enjoyed our stay - Design of building - traditional - friendly
- Suresh (7/5): Great staff very helpful - Nice quiet location but bit too far from the main city area Loads of mosquitos
- Dimuthu (10/5): Good value for money - Good and friendly service. Nice breakfast and dinner. Clean rooms
- Jill (8/5): Great location - Everyone we met was really friendly and helpful. Great location. Breakfasts were fabulous and staff were very keen to feed us up! Evening meal was delicious too. We ate in a cafe round the corner from the hotel too which was basic but very tasty. Bed was comfortable and a/c very effective. Recommend staying there. Bathroom was very tired and could do with a deep clean if not refitting.
- Vijay (9/5): I will certainly recommend this guest hose any one like to stay - Good break fast on time and also what you like you get it Room no bar fridge & no Cofffee making facilities
- Ganeshram (10/5): Best choice for the stay, price wise and quality. - Very friendly staff and management. Helpful and supportive. Accommodated last minute requirements and late night check in. Ordered food for family and kept for us since we arrived late.
- Emma (9/5): - Chambre et salle de bain très spacieuse avec climatisation bienvenue. Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux. Location de scooter proposée par l'hôte, qui est resté très compréhensif et honnête malgré un accrochage avec... Quelques fourmis dans la chambre et le lit (qui piquent un peu), mais ce sont les joies du Sri-Lanka !
- Germa (9/5): Super - Fijne locatie. Een rustige oase in een drukke omgeving. Leuke winkeltjes en marktjes. Super lekker bed en kamer met ruimte om je spullen neer te zetten.Super aardig personeel. Lekker ontbijt Engels en Sri Lankaans. Mooie tuin. Miste een zwembadje in die hitte.
- Chelliah (5/5): Cash payments only - Closer to our friends and colleagues Management insists on cash payments. No cards accepted!
- John (7/5): -
- CARLOS ANTONIO (9/5): -
- tharindra (10/5): - It's a recommended Hotel.
Rooms are clean, comfortable, good services and helpful staff. Also, we had nice and tasty Food. It was a short stay, but it's memorable.
- Guest (10/5): Super séjour dans une magnifique maison - On a adoré cette guesthouse située dans une maison d’architecte, un peu à l’écart de l’agitation du centre ville et donc au calme ! La chambre est très propre et fonctionnelle et les lits confortables. Nous avons pu louer un scooter grâce à l’aide de Ravi; mais les Tuk tuk peuvent facilement être commandés aussi. Ravi est super gentil et il nous a beaucoup aidé et conseillé pendant notre séjour sur les activités à faire. Si nous revenons à Jaffna nous retournerons la, réservez sans hésiter !!!! Rien
- Kanchana (10/5): - Nice and clean place. The owner was nice and really helpful. We booked for one night but stayed for an another day. I would choose this place if i go to Jaffna again 👍
- rovera (10/5): - Personnel très aimable et serviable, emplacement calme à Jaffna loin du bruit de la ville tout en restant assez proche des principaux lieux d'intérêt, chambre spacieuse pour 4 personnes et très bon petit déjeuner. L'ambiance etait très familiale, nous avons bien sympathisé avec le personnel et avec les autres clients, nous avons eu un excellent dinner traditionnel à un prix très raisonnable. Nous recommandons vivement. Rien
- Larotti (10/5): - La disponibilità e la gentilezza dello staff, la colazione con prodotti tipici buonissima, la cucina in condivisione sempre a disposizione ci è stata molto utile per lasciare in fresco cibo e bevande (e medicinali deperibili). La camera è spaziosa e luminosa con impianto di aria condizionata perfetta, molto silenziosa nonostante la vicinanza di una strada principale. La posizione è comoda per visitare sia Jaffna sia la penisola. Io mi ero da poco infortunata a un ginocchio e ci hanno fornito un servizio di tuk tuk con autista/guida preparatissimo che per due giorni ci ha portato in giro alla scoperta della regione nulla da segnalare
- Milo (10/5): Geweldig - Schoon en netjes verzorgd, airco koud en de douche warm. Goede gastheer spreekt goed Engels Eigenlijk weinig.
- Thiru (8/5): Homely stay - Food and the staff Bathroom fittings (shower and the taps) need replacing
- Thillayampalam (10/5): A nice, small boutique hotel in Jaffna if you are looking for convenience and value for money. - The breakfast, included in the room charge, was very good. We stayed for eight days and every day, the Chef Ruban served us a different menu. All freshly made Tamil cuisine. Loved it. The Manager Ravi is very helpful and was always available with useful information.
The location is also good.Very close to KKS Road where there were many small eateries and shops. Excellent location for public transport. The Maruthanarmadam Public market is closeby where you could buy many kinds of fresh local fruits. The room was somewhat small for double occupancy. I later discovered that there were more spacious rooms available, but not allocated to us .
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - One of the cleanest and most comfortable places we stayed during our travels around Sri Lanka. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and polite, making us feel right at home.
The room was spacious with comfortable bed.
Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely delicious. We also appreciated having access to the kitchen fridge and the reliable Wi-Fi.
Jaffna turned out to be an unexpected highlight of our trip — such a hidden gem!
Highly recommended!
- Rani (9/5): Superb -
- Nishakar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Acktshan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eckhome (10/5): Excellent stay in Jaffna. - It was a nice guest house in a central location. The owner was great. Large rooms . Comfortable beds. Bathroom was clean too. The owner accommodated our breakfast request. We liked the place.
- Kayani (6/5): NOT professional staff. - The family room door was NOT there; shown on pictures ONLY. I asked and they changed it.
Overall an average stay. Host kept asking about money. He was a bit insecure; don’t know why!
I think host need to be more professional and forthcoming. Host was NOT welcoming. An average stay.
- Salih (8/5): Very good -
- Michele (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chamindu (10/5): Exceptional - It was a real pleasure to stay at this guest house. Clean and spacious room. Peaceful location. Ravi was very friendly, helpful and attentive. We used their bike to visit nearby sights. Definitely will visit again.
- Sriyani (10/5): A Wonderful Place - We received a warm welcome, truly capturing the Sri Lankan spirit. Ravi made us feel at home, being very attentive and even let us use the kitchen as needed. Ruben, the chef, made mouthwatering dishes which all of us thoroughly enjoyed and it is a difficult feat to please all 5 of us! It was such a convenient and peaceful location. I would highly recommend!
- David (8/5): - The wifi went down every evening. The breakfast is Sri Lankan vegetarian. I’m completely flummoxed why previous reviewers say the location is good. They seem to believe that its location between the city and the beach is an advantage. It is near nothing. I had to walk a minimum of 30 minutes to find a restaurant or a grocery store. As a result you have to drive to get anything.
- felix (10/5): - Fine guesthouse located between Jaffna old city and Keerimalai temple and sacred water pool. Nice and quiet location, excellent laundry service.
- Florence (10/5): Very nice place to stay - We were really well welcomed and it was a real pleasure to stay at this guesthouse.
Our host helped us very nicely sothat we were able to go by tuktuk to the market and do some shopping easyly. Thank you very much.
- Michael (10/5): Great quiet place just north of the city - Great location, just off the road making it very peaceful at night. Good air con and fan. Great size room with balcony overlooking the garden and plantation. Good host and Sri Lankan breakfast. They also do laundry, which was a god sent in a city with no laundrettes.
- Afzal (8/5): good value for money, good location - The guest house was in a good location, the staff were helpful and the rooms were good. Our host spoke english fluently so that was great. He's knowledgeable and kind. The breakfast was good.
- Krishnan (9/5): Superb -
- Susithra (8/5): Very good - Breakfast choices were very good and very tasty and very healthy. Staffs are very friendly and very helpful Bathroom should have been better. Should change the shower.

- S (9/5): Amazing stay in Jaffna - The host Ravi was very welcoming and helpful. The room was very comfortable. The food was excellent. The chef treated us so well we put on a few extra pounds. We felt so well rested and relaxed and pampered. We felt like we had visited with old friends. Ravi Sir also guided us to the nearby sights and gave us the use of his bike. Will definitely be coming back to stay here. U can rest assured u r in good hands. Just needs newspaper in the closet to lay down clothes. Otherwise everything was amazing.

- Vinoth (8/5): Good place to stay. - Breakfast was great. All you need to do is tell Ravi what's your breakfast preference the night before and he will make it happen. The guest house is located close to a good number of shops, restaurants and also market which you can explore but it is away from Jaffna town. The bathroom is adequate but could be better.
